Tokyo - Day 7-8 + Singapore

Today, we went to Ueno. There was a park and I saw quite a number of school boys painting the scenery.We walked around the park and this street with a lot of small shops. There were studens shopping around and I don't know if they were supposed to be in school. I think the school hours are a bit odd. The things there were quite interesting, ranging from high tech robots/toys to food. There was this spider car thing which is a remote controlled car that can travel vertically on walls. It uses air suction I think. Japanese toys are really rather interesting.

We walked, ate lunch and shopped until about 1pm before taking a train back to our hotel. We caught the ariport limousine (a bus) and reached Narita airport. We left Tokyo at 5.40pm Tokyo time and reached Singapore at around 12.15am. I spent most of the ride watching movies and sleeping at the later part. But the sleeping was not very successful because I was getting tired from sitting for so long.

We reached home at about 1am and unpacked blah blah blah. I was in a groggy state and my eyes just wanted to close on me. I slept at about 3am+. 3/4 of my family woke up around 11.30am while Jean slept until 12+.

Overall, it was a pretty fun trip. And that ends all the Tokyo reports for now. Warning: Not all events had been typed out so as to avoid being naggy.

The long chain of November birthdays has just started today. Thankfully, we'll be settling it with two cakes over a period of 3 weeks. The first will be tomorrow at my grandparents' house. That one kills (celebrates) 3 birds (humans) with 1 stone (cake).
